Looks Like Brownie is a Modern Cool Nerd

Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd

82 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 43% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

The Saga Of The Kabobwalla

Sorry haven't written about London. But here's yet another encounter from across the pond.

March 2002

Location: Kabob take-away in by Earl's Court Station, London.

Sugar is slightly tipsy with her friends at 3am.

b: (in my horrible Urdu). Um, could I get some water with my kabob roll? (In English) Sparkling water, please.

Kabobwalla: (In Urdu) We don't have sparkling. Have some 7-Up, it's the same thing.

b: (back to Urdu) Uh, no it's not. It's okay, I don't want anything to drink then.

Kabobwalla: Drank enough, huh? You girls dressed like that, chi chi.

b: (Yelling in Urdu) What? How dare you say that! Forget this, just give me my kabob!

b's friends: What were you yelling about, b?

June 2007

Location: The same kabob take-away.

This time b is sober and it's only 10:30pm

b: (In Urdu) Could I get some sparkling water with my kabob?

Kabobwalla: We don't have that. Why don't you take some 7-Up? It's the same thing.

b: (To myself) Where did I hear this conversation before?

Sing To Me?

Last week on my way to Staples on the corner of California and Battery:

Random Security Guard: How is your day going?

b: I'm alright, just running errands for my stupid job.

rsg: (walking along side of me) Can I tell you something? You are just so beautiful. Can I sing a song for you?

b: (in my head: I'm confused, I'm beautiful? Poor security guard needs glasses) You're gonna sing to me right here?

rsg: Yes Ma'm! I'm a hidden talent, waiting to get discovered.

b: Really? Let's hear it.

rsg: Could u be the most beautiful girl in the world?

Its plain 2 see ure the reason that God made a girl

When the day turns into the last day of all timeI can say I hope u are in these arms of mine

And when the night falls before that day I will cry

I will cry tears of joy cuz after u all one can do is die, oh

b: (swooning) Wow, thank you. Seriously, that is so sweet, no one has ever sang to me before (except for the drunk guy on the bus in London)

rsg: Well, you're welcomed beautiful. I would give you my number, but I think your boyfriend would get mad (turns around and crosses the street)

b: (to myself): What boyfriend?
